Authentic Mexican Tarascadas

Ingredients

• Salsa (1 cup, homemade or store-bought)
• Sour cream (1/2 cup)
• Cilantro (1/4 cup, finely chopped)
• Tortillas (8, warmed)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• Chili powder (1 tablespoon)
• Cumin (1 teaspoon)
• Lime juice (2 tablespoons)
• Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• Bell peppers (2, thinly sliced)
• Onion (1 large, thinly sliced)
• Skirt steak (1 pound)

Instructions

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. While the grill is heating, prepare your marinade. In a bowl, combine the lime juice, cumin, chili powder, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
3. Place the skirt steak in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it's evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
4. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to retain its juices.
5. While the steak is resting, grill the sliced onions and bell peppers until they are slightly charred and tender. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
6. Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips. This ensures tender bites.
7. Warm the tortillas on the grill or in a skillet. This makes them pliable and enhances their flavor.
8. To assemble the tarascadas, place a few slices of steak on a warm tortilla, top with grilled onions and peppers, and garnish with chopped cilantro. For a tangy kick, add a dollop of sour cream and a spoonful of salsa.
9. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the authentic Mexican flavors!
